Welcome to the GBP Blog

This is the Blog associated with our main website TheGreenBicycleProject.org

The GBP has merged with Damn Good Bikes LLC. Please visit the new blog for more recent updates.

We are the GBP. Our mission is to keep bikes on the road and thus keep cars off. We call this “Bikecycling”; that’s recycling, but for bikes. The concept is simple. Take a bike that’s no longer wanted, broken, or even bound for a landfill and apply a bit of knowhow and a lot of elbow grease and you get a bike that can last someone for years. These bikecycled bikes are sold at a price that covers only our costs in repairing them so as to provide bicycles at the lowest cost possible. All of our bikes are repaired and tuned by a mechanic so that from the moment you pick them up they are ready to hit the road. Take a look below for our current project bikes and completed rides.

Location:
We are located in the US Storage facility at Capital Circle NE and Mahan Rd. While have moved into our new store, we are in the same complex. To get there follow the road through the complex, around the 90 degree bend and make the first left (at the tree). We'll be the first store front on your right. Sound complex? The best way to find us is to follow the bikes!

Buying our bikes:
Please visit our main website at thegreenbicycleproject.org for information about buying our bikes. You may also email us at Thegreenbicycleproject@gmail.com.

September 22th Chain Links


Too much chain links? Are those double doses the last few posts making you twich and drool a little? It's ok, we feel your pain. To make up for it we're going to post a single dose of links with a double dose of awesome. We've got ghost bikes, park(ing) day, and the coolest bike you ever did see on tap to feed your habit.


First: This just seems a little wrong. Your friend dies on a bike. You put up a ghost bike memorial. The City steals it. You up up 22. Some guy has his way with them. The City steals them. Gotta love DC.


Second: Yes, there are places in the world more bikeawesome than Portland. I don't think even the bike capital of the world has the balls to pull this off.


Third: I can ride my bike with no front tube, with no front tube.
